See, I keep hearing say "play victim, play victim, play victim". No, there's no playing. Legally, you were a victim of sexual assault. Now, if you're not overly offended and can just walk away from the situation, that's totally fine. Frankly, I would just walk away as well. But just because you can blow it off doesn't mean others should be expected to. That dismissive outlook is how we get issues like this.
The point is that lumping in actual sexual assault as you described with someone saying "your arse looks nice in those jeans" does a complete disservice to real sexual assault victims. These movements are nothing more than cast nets designed to create maximum outrage and victimhooid. If I were the recipient of legit sexual assault, I'd be on a crusade to stop these merchants of frivolous outrage from crying wolf and ruining the legitimacy of actual sexual assault awareness.
The idea that I can't comment on someone's personal experience is complete bullshite. Someone telling you your arse looks nice shouldn't be in the same cause as someone who was physically violated.

See, this shite right here is where your whole argument falls to pieces.
You've just lumped every normal red-blooded male who finds women attractive and acknowledges it into the same basket as fricking pedos and rapists.
You don't see how that is counterintuitive? You think that because I make a babe thread, or approach a woman in a bar and get shot down that I'm the same as some jerk that tries to stick his hand down a girls pants in an alley?
You really don't see the issue here?
my whole argument doesn't fall to pieces. you're conflating desire with aggression.
no one is saying you're the same.
and it depends, when you walk into a bar to hit on the girl:
do you take no for an answer?
try to persuade her why she should give you a chance?
use your size, power, money to try to win/manipulate her?
make her feel bad for saying no?
touch her in an unwanted way?
leave when she makes her disinterest clear?
respond aggressively when she says no, "aka call her a bitch, unfriendly, etc?"
think that you deserve to talk to her in any way?
all of these things... added up start leading down the path to harassment. if they happened to you every day or multiple times a day, you could see where they come from the same place...
the idea is that some men mistakenly think they have a right to sex from a woman. when they don't. everything else is just differing degrees on what they do to try to obtain that.
sexual assault and rape is a 10 on that scale. but all the above behaviors are clearly on it.
and that includes catcalling, which is probably a 1. the idea is that the men are treating women as an object of sexuality. and women should have the right to not participate, but are forced to participate and intruded upon.

The idea that people think humans in 2017 can completely ignore thousands of years of evolutionary biology always cracks me up.

So here's the deal. A number of these gals are bitching that a guy dared to compliment them on their looks....at dinner...or in a restaurant.
fricking attention whores.
There is actual sexual harassment in the work place going on every day. Of that I have no doubt.
But telling a girl her hair looks nice is not in any fricking way sexual harassment.
These are the same dumb bitches who complain there aren't any nice guys to date.

the idea that people who talk on machines created by men and able to communicate instantaneously over thousands of miles, while clothed in man made attire, and working with other humans would think that evolutionary biology was a limitation that was not overcomable is equally crack uppable.

I completely agree with you in that way. There's going to be a group of people that use the campaign and the rape laws to their advantage. Whether it's to get attention, revenge, etc. And a passing comment really isn't that big of a deal.
But at the end of the day, I can ride a public bus without being approached by a woman looking to tell me how nice my bulge looks. And can walk down the street without women hanging out the windows whistling and yelling 'nice arse'. I don't have to deal with a constant barrage of 40 year old hard-dicks feeling the need to bother me. I can certainly see where that would get real old, real quick.

i don't think sexual desire is wrong. i think imposing of sexual desire on an unwanted party is wrong.
i could not be more sexually attracted to my fiancee. she is indeed a smoke show. lucky for me, she reciprocates.

duh. Men look for attractive women as possible sex partners for the same exact reason that women look for men with fat wallets as potential sex partners. It's called biology

This is true, but where are you seeing people say cat callers and annoying men should be jailed?

No one disagrees with this.
That's not the issue here.

Another thing: objectification is not, in and of itself, a bad thing. On a basic level, normal attraction/intercourse can't occur without objectification. It's how the mating part of the brains of both sexes alert us to potential partners.
Dirty little secret: want to know which people objectify women as much as men?
Other women.
Look that shite up.

100 percent true.
I have had more then one woman tell me that women dress to impress other women...far more then they dress to impress men.
Of that I have zero doubt.

I travel for my job. In 3 years, I can only think of one dinner where I was not bothered the entire time I was there by someone. Not just a compliment. MY ENTIRE MEAL. And I like conversation, so it isn't a huge deal, but that doesn't mean other women feel the same.
I totally understand why someone would be annoyed that they can't go get a damn meal in peace.
